Plan to cut Colorado River water supply due to drought creates uncertainty

A proposed plan to cut water supplies from the Colorado River due to ongoing drought conditions has generated uncertainty for communities relying on the river. In the Phoenix area, a small town dependent on the Colorado River has responded by limiting growth, reactivating old wells, and establishing new water agreements.

Meanwhile, separate hydrological data from Spain indicates that the country's water reserves stood at 64.90 percent of their total capacity as of Sunday, August 30, according to the most recent update of the Peninsular Hydrological Bulletin released by the Ministry for the Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge.
